It would be great to get a couple of video demonstrations of some of the Premium Vlabs. I'm interested in them but not sure what to expect, if the extra cost would be worth the investment. Having a few demos conducted by some of the ITPro TV hosts would be a great way to see what you are paying for.

I've put your suggestion in as a request.

the cisco Vlabs would be a great place to start.

The Cisco vLabs are neat in the very fact that you're not getting access to a simulator/emulator/command-line checker but actual Cisco Equipment and a structured lab that you can walk through step by step or sandbox on your own.
For about 50 USD a year, you'll get access to all the available lab configuration for Cisco labs that we have not just a limited set for CCENT or CCNA but entirety of Cisco.
